![]() “I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched ‘Clueless,’ from a time before I even understood most of the jokes,” Booster said. In fact, “Fire Island” was inspired by another (albeit, much longer) miniseries, the BBC adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice,” which Booster would watch with his mother “at least once a year.” Jane Austen’s novel of the same name was a cornerstone for “Fire Island,” as well as 1995 classic interpretation, “Clueless.” “I think I lean more toward it’s a miracle that any queer shit gets made.” Fox Searchlight later saved the series and expanded it into a feature film instead of 10 mini-episodes. ![]() “The day that I found out Quibi was folding I was like, ‘Oh that’s it, there goes that,'” Booster said.

Though Kidder is obviously fond of his subject, he also frankly discusses English’s flaws, such as “distractibility” heightened by bipolar disorder, problems with authority, and a general refusal to follow rules. The story also follows English and team as they work on his latest vision, providing insight into the functioning of venture capital firms and how projects can morph in unexpected ways.
